For a pure resistor, r.m.s. current and average power follow directly from Ohm's law.

Given R=100 ΩR = 100\,\Omega, Vrms=220V_{rms} = 220 V (the 220 V AC supply rating is already an r.m.s. value), f=50f=50 Hz.

(a) r.m.s. current:

Irms=VrmsR=220100=2.2 AI_{rms} = \frac{V_{rms}}{R} = \frac{220}{100} = 2.2\ \text{A}
